Feedback on Version 3.0 of the elevator pitch
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:OERu/Planning/OERu marketing communications and partner engagement/Value Proposition/Elevator pitch
As we strive for word economy we are loosing what is distinctive about OERu - our openness.
Reading this elevator pitch and its suggested refinements, I struggle to see what is special about our innovation. The OERu is distinctively open - there is no education collaboration that comes remotely close to our openness.
I'm edging towards David Porters description - the current track is watering down what we are doing to nothing. Jason - I think you need to get back to the drawing board and generate something which compels me to want to join and participate in the OERu.
- OERu is open sourcing education - we are an international network of credible institutions widening access to globally recognized credentials at an affordable cost.
This is the heart and core of what we are doing the other wordsmithing is fluff imo. ;-)
